As equipment costs have plummeted in solar over the last few years, attention now turns towards the install costs, to make solar more affordable for more home owners.
Austin, U.S.A. - September 2, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —
Freedom Solar, recently recognized as one of Austin’s “Fast50” began conducting solar site assessments last month using drones from HoverStat technologies, in order to provide better service and pricing to their growing customer base.
Operating since 2007, Freedom Solar has installed over 15 megawatts of solar panels for residential and corporate customers in Central Texas including Whole Foods, Austin Children’s Museum, and the University of Texas. Recently recognized in Solar Power World Magazine as the largest solar contractor in Texas, Freedom Solar has been innovating in the solar space to provide better solutions and delighted customers.
“We are in a race against the clock,” says Kyle Frazier, Director of Sales for Freedom Solar. “As incentives burn off for solar we are relying more and more on driving cost from the equation. And this must be done without compromising the products or services that we deliver to the end customer. When you are installing one new residential system every day of the week as we are, you need a scalable solution.”
Commonly referred to as “soft costs”, the design, permitting, and install costs associated with a solar project are the focus of attention for many installers. As manufacturers work to drive costs from the products they make, Installers must also do their part to improve efficiency. “Nearly 6% of our revenue goes towards Indirect costs,” Says Chad Preece, COO for Freedom Solar. “This includes site technicians and QC techs who drive all over Texas measuring roof tops and evaluating them for solar. There has to be a better way, there is a better way, and we think we’ve found it. We’re excited to partner with HoverStat and their innovative roof mapping technology, and couldn’t think of a better technology partner to help Freedom Solar deliver industry leading solutions for home owners and businesses.”
